Brief but interesting

Content - The content focus on depression, worry guilt and shame. The symptoms of depression and indicators that you are showing signs of depressive disorder. Brief summaries of causes of behaviours, and treatment options. Faith Harper in all her short self-help books explores alternatives to medications which is great, it's taking a new world approach to how we should manage mental health disorders. I like the mention of bi-polar disorder in relation to depression as I've seen so many people I support misdiagnosed and not receiving the correct support and treatment option available.

Audio Quality - Good, listened via audible.

Overall -  Was a good listen, simple to follow along with.

Recommendation - . Recommend to anyone wanting a basic understanding of depression , behavioral causes and treatments available including alternatives to medications.

An informative read

In simple language Dr Harper explains and destigmatizes depression . Barn yard language warning, but if that does not worry you this is an accessable introduction to the topic.

Teenage level insight into depression

childish language, speaking down to the listener, might be good for a 13yr old simply learning abotu depression, not good for self help, super cringe swearing and trying to relate to teenagers as a karen therapist
